FYI: Mexico City airport isn't bad. I would even venture to say small, clean, and safe. I think I would go alone next time. And there will be a next time.
Mexico was awesome and completely relaxed. I didn't do anything cool, I just did the normal things: visit parque espangne, walk around el centro (downtown), fail miserably at speaking Spanish. Wow, I've gotten horrible at it! But the thought actually crossed my mind that I could live there again.
The best part by far was seeing my kids and roommates. After leaving in such distress and uncertainty that the relationships would sustain, I was completely in awe of how faithful God is. It was like I never left. And the relationships truly were intact. I hope to visit again soon.
The last part of Spring Break was spent at SXSW. I'm a believer! The venues were small and personal. I fell in love with a lead singer from Wales, and met some really cool people who know lots about music. Some of the bands: The Storys, Marc Broussard, Mika, Razorlight, the Bravery, Amy Winehouse.
This past week at school one of the funny punk boys in my class challenged me to a race across the playground. Most kind teachers would let the child win, act defeated, and offer sweet words of encouragement. I didn't do anything of the sort! That kid needs to learn that I for sure can smoke him. I think he respects me more. When he replied, "I'll beat you next time Miss Watts, after football practice." I natually responded sarcastically, "Well see about that."
I'm not really as mean as I make myself sound.

I'm so glad you went to visit. You were (and are) so special to those kids!
i love that you teach your kids "realities of life" through beating them in playground races. they need to learn somehow, i guess! haha
i'm glad to hear that mexico was still as great as you remember it being. i am sure those kids loved seeing you again
Creeper teacher for sure. Amen, on teaching the kid a lesson that you can kick his butt in a race around the playground. Gosh, pick on someone your own size next time...oh wait...haha
